The Diligent Chase

Christmas is a favorite time for many and we love Christmas movies in our house! We have a few must-watch favorites every year and we want to know yours! We also love our gut health supplements, especially this time of year! With New Years Resolutions coming soon and heading into a season that can sometimes bring anxiety, taking care of ourselves is so important. A few of my recent favorites: Vitalbiome (supports my mood and anxiety) Balance (reduced carb and sugar absorption) Slim (helps balance blood sugar) https://plexusworldwide.com/erinluchterhand

We have a fun episode that looks at each of our enneagram types and, ultimately, whether they truly matter. What are the pros and cons of knowing your personality and the personalities of those around you? We also take a little walk down memory lane and the start of our love story and family. It was fun to connect over shared memories and love. Want to know how we take care of the family we've created? Plexus is our go-to gut health supplements that keeps us feeling good. We love how everything has a function and even we (the not so sciency types) can understand. December brings some great deals - check them out here: https://plexusworldwide.com/erinluchterhand

In preparation for Thanksgiving, and just to switch things up a little bit, we dive into some holiday-based "Would You Rather?" scenarios. We love having fun and enjoy our intentional time together. We hope it's an encouragement to you and we'd love to hear - Christmas before or after Thanksgiving? We still love our gut health supplements and use them for everything from inflammation, and digestive discomfort to mood, immunity, sleep, weight control/loss, and more. Our kids LOVE their "super hero" vitamins and compete for who is going to "deliver" them. We'd love to share more about how addressing your gut health gets to the root of so many issues we have. https://plexusworldwide.com/erinluchterhand

We had a BLAST with this one - and maybe a little drama. It got intense for a few minutes as we drafted our desert island bands/artists. Rules: Snake draft and once an artist/band was taken, they were off limits. We could take the entire collection with us to our desert island once an artist/band was drafted. We love having fun and enjoy our intentional time together. We hope it's an encouragement to you and we'd love to hear - what would your Top 10 Desert Island bands be? We are still loving our gut health supplements and use them for everything from digestive discomfort to mood, immunity, sleep, and more. Our kids LOVE the XFactor+ kids vitamins and ask, daily, for thier "super hero" vitamins. We'd love to share more about how addressing your gut health gets to the root of so many issues we have. https://plexusworldwide.com/erinluchterhand

Probably are most fun episode yet, our Top 10 list of TV shows was tough to narrow down. Our lists range from the 1950s to current with no genre off limits. Even after making our lists we thought of a few we missed so perhaps a round 2 will be in order time time! Follow us on Instagram @the_diligent_chase and PM us YOUR favorites or comment on our post to vote for the list you'd be more likely to agree with. Just remember, these are draft style lists, so once a show was taken by one of us, it was off limits to the other. We are curious to know, what would your list have included? Did we miss some of your favs? Kit still needs a walking partner for our Step Challenge next week and we have a good coupon code for November! Here's the link for our favorite gut health products, but PM us before ordering and we will get you the coupon code! https://plexusworldwide.com/erinluchterhand

When you have a gaggle of kids, food is important. What a fun way to kick off the podcast - Our Top 10 Fast Food Restaurant rankings- fantasy football style. Kit and Erin each rank their favorite fast food places and we are curious if you agree! Both lists are solid, but who takes the cake - would you rather eat off of Kit's list, or Erin's? We LOVE our supplements and so do our kids. For our favorite gut health and kid supplements, and for the "SuperHero vitamins" our kids ASK for daily, click here: https://plexusworldwide.com/erinluchterhand

When you have a gaggle of kids, movies are important. What a fun way to kick off the podcast - Our Top 10 Disney/Pixar movie rankings- fantasy football style. Kit and Erin each rank their favorite movies and we are curious if you agree! Kit loves movies with great music and iconic classic stories. Erin loves the more modern stories and ones that she enjoys with the kids.

What do you remember from your school days that made no sense (at least to you) to learn? Maybe you hated it at the time or you look back and wonder WHY you had to learn it. Education should relate to the end goal: becoming a functional adult and productive member of society. Perhaps there is a function and purpose to what's being taught - then we, as educators, must make it relatable to our student's lives. Seriously, who uses algebra in every day life? And if you do.... please tell me how so I can learn! Kit and Erin keep it lighthearted with a few Would You Rathers, a long Wisconsin goodbye, and some pretty good wins of the week. We've also found a total potty-training hack - follow us on instagram (the_diligent_chase) and DM us for the info! If you want the quick down and dirty, follow this link, order BioCleanse, and add it to your kiddos applesauce. Your welcome. https://plexusworldwide.com/erinluchterhand

We all bring things from our childhood and growing up years into adulthood and, ultimately marriage and parenthood. What did you bring? Your partner? What were the things you thought were familiar to everyone growing up but now you find out... maybe not everyone eats crackers with frosting. Perhaps you don't reheat your coffee multiple times a day like your spouse thinks is normal. What are some some intentional and unplanned things you brought into adulthood? For us - snow blowing and mini pizzas. A few little podcast debates - is cursive still NECESSARY to teach in schools? Who wins the licorice debate - twizzlers or red vines?

We all educate and parent our children a little differently from one another. We homeschool, not everyone does. We work from home, not everyone else does. We have the core foundation of why we do what we do and the confidence to know that it's right for our family. But it can be lonely trudging through the hard day without some encouragement and a community to come alongside you. Having friends and family who encourage and support your family, and recognizing and embracing your children's personalities is priceless. If you don't have this yet, prioritize finding it. This podcast addresses a few additional questions - ones we'd like to pose to our listeners. As Christian parents of young children, what scares you the most about our current society? Ours? you'll have to listen in but we certainly have opinions!

We live life at home - Work from home, homeschool, just "home" from home. And we tag team it all. Sometimes there's discouragement, exhaustion, or judgemental questions. Whatever the discouragement, WHERE we find our source of encouragement matters. Coming back to the source of truth - Scripture - and remembering our "why" are two ways we keep ourselves encouraged when the going gets tough. Hey Mom and Dad - you are doing a great job! You are where the Lord has you, even in a tough season. The King of the universe is with you in the storm and He is trustworthy. Our favorite kid all-natural chewable vitamins (+probiotic) = XFactor Kids. Our kids go nuts for these and I feel good knowing that they are all natural and have a built-in probiotic for their little tummies. https://shop.plexusworldwide.com/product/plexus-xfactor-kids-chewable-multivitamin-probiotic?_gl=1*ik3yta*_ga*NDg1MDI2ODkyLjE2Nzg3MzMwNTg.*_ga_DKYGGM0Y9Y*MTY5NTIxNTEyOC4zOC4xLjE2OTUyMTU1OTYuNjAuMC4w Give us a listen for some reality, encouragement, truth, and laughs!

Welcome to The Diligent Chase Podcast, ep. 1 Kit and Erin talk about starting homeschooling again for the 3rd year... and the changes we've made to make this year even more successful. We often get asked how we work from home and homeschool... answer inside! As stay-at-home parents, we do a few really intentional things to improve our scheduling and increase our health and wellness, including our favorite gut health supplements. Wrapping up in a really positive way - listen to the end for our Wins of the Week! XOXO Kit and Erin
